Overview

• The Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled against Saif Ali Khan's plea challenging the classification of his family's Bhopal properties as 'enemy property.'
• The Enemy Property Act allows the government to seize properties belonging to individuals who migrated to Pakistan or China after conflicts with India.
• The properties, valued at ₹15,000 crore, were inherited by Khan from his grandmother Sajida Sultan, who was recognized as the legal heir of Nawab Hamidullah Khan.
• The court's decision gives the Khan family 30 days to appeal to the Appellate Tribunal, but they have not yet taken legal action, and the deadline has passed.
• The government is now positioned to take control of the estates, raising concerns among residents and tenants living on the affected properties.
